*special thanks to Menshevik, Circus Elfe and jogurt in compiling this guide!

ever wonder what Nightcrawler was saying when he says something in German and they don't translate it? well worry not, the translation guide is here!

Common Kurtism's

Mein Gott - My God

Gott im Himmel - God in heaven

verdammt - damn

unglaublich - Unbeleivable or incredible

mein Freund - My friend (Male)

meine Freundin - My friend (female)

meine Freunde - My friends

Herr - the German equivalent of "Mr.", but can also be translated as "master", "lord" or "(the) Lord" according to context. "Mein Herr" (my (good) sir) is usually considered at least a little aggressive these days, while "Herr Professor" would be a polite way of addressing a professor, however, if the name is included, Kurt would be addressing Chuck either as "Herr Xavier" or "Professor Xavier".

Fraulein/Frau - is considered antiquated these days. In German, "Frau" (which can be translated as "Mrs.", "woman" and "lady") is used for Mrs., Miss and Ms. If you address a woman in the street without knowing her name, the most frequently used address nowadays is "junge Frau" (young lady), even if the lady in question is over 60)

Kurt: Vas? - What?
Kurt: Verdammter Mist. (Condemned/Damned muck.) I knew I should have been more careful.

Movie (courtesey of Circus Elfe)
When Storm and Jean first encounter Nightcrawler in a church, he yells:
"Gehen Sie raus!" - Get out!
"Ich bin ein Bote des Teufels!" I am the devil's messenger!
"Ich bin die Augeburt des Bösen" I am the spawn of evil.
(then again)
"Gehen Sie raus!" "Ich bin ein Bote des Teufels" "Ich bin die Ausgeburt des Bösen"
He speaks with a rather strong accent, so the first few lines are kinda swallowed (also mixed with his BAMF) but also according to the book he says those lines.
In the novelization he adds to the 3 phrases above:
"Ich bin ein dämon" (should actually be "ich bin ein Dämon" with capitalized D) - I am a demon

Before Storm comes to talk to Nighty on the Blackbird he prays "The Hail Mary" "Ave Maria"

The Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

I knew I wasn't the only Kurt fan who knew German. Admittedly, not THAT much German. I'm relieved to know what he actually said when Storm and Jean first walked into that church. Poor guy. To call himself demon spawn....

I wanna thank you sooooooo much for the translations because I dont speak a word of Greman and also I think this site rocks:D

Kurt: you know outside of the circus most people were afraid of me but I didnt hate them I pitied them, do you know why?
Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes!

Might wanna say that Schweinehund is used as an insult. And if you want to be really technical, some should be lowercase such as:
verdammt
unglaublich
and mein/meine freund

...and I'd like to add that Schweinehund isn't used that often....at least not directly talking to someone.

...hm...and actually Freunde should be starting with a capital letter, not lower case..

Just nitpicking

Oh - and to add to Bamfette's guide: It should actually be "Gott imHimmel", otherwise it's not making sense. "im" is just short for "in dem", menaing "in the", if you wondered...

Those are all really great and helpful, but i have no idea how to say anything!!! Could you put in the way to pronounce the words or something? That would be soooooooo great!!! That way, the old german ladies wouldn't laugh at me when i attempted to quote Kurt while talking to my friends on the bus!
